Sony Ericsson W950i announced

Feb 13 2006 - 05:58 PM ET | 3G, 3GSM, Sony Ericsson

W950i3GSM 2006 -- After launching two other models this morning (see J100 and K610i) Sony Ericsson debuted its most powerful Walkman phone yet, the W950i. The handset sports a massive 4GB of flash memory which puts it on an even playing field with the Apple iPod Nano.

Features of the Sony Ericsson W950i include:

  • Symbian v9.1 on the UIQ 3.0 platform
  • GSM 900/1800/1900 plus UMTS 2100
  • 4GB flash memory for up to 4,000 songs
  • Bluetooth with support for stereo headsets
  • Walkman music player that plays MP3, AAC, AAC+, E-AAC+, WAV and m4a
  • QVGA touch screen with 262k colors
  • USB 2.0

The W950i is slated to begin shipping in the third quarter. Unfortunately we won't see the W950i in the US thanks to its tri-band radio.

No Camera = Low sales.

If it had a camera I would definatly buy it even if it was a bit thicker.

I think that this cell phone is rather good/ 4gb - its enormous for the phone


Chris Apr 29 2006

Well....I think this phone rocks ppl so what if it's got no camera buy one seperrate we are taliin about 4gb onboard holly cow. That's a flippin lot of memory for a phone i love the W950 i've had my eye on it for a while now and i'm byin it Sony, count me in you have bought me!!!!

W950 that's flippin nifty

Bully phone...4 gb wow but no cam...i would rather prefer 800i....You guys of sony need to look market guys not the style.


Faye3 May 07 2006

It don need no cam... i mean as if we actually use them + who cares about a cam when there is 4GB i mean damn thats a lot of memory And with bluetooth u can take real pics from a 10Mp cam and send it via bluetooth and thats it + it's soooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy to use am buyin it the day it reaches my country+Soney ericsson is the easiest mobile ever i mean i bought all of them any edition i had T610 T630 K700 K750 W800i W550 Z600 And Z800 they r the best,and am willin to bye the w950i and k800i as soon as they arrive to my country.And now who needs a nono or mini iPod whyle they have 4GB memory in there pocket waitin to be filled with music.But i hope that it doesn't get stock because of its memory.

timmyblaize@myway.com
Thanks y'all


rach Jun 13 2006

wicked phone but would be even better with a cam


Prince Jul 03 2006

omdz i would have definately bought that phone with a camera its so slick in shape n size but thesedays every1 has a camera phone n who do u think wud buy a phone without a camera it should atleast have a 3mega pixal camera


Sanjay Burrell Jul 06 2006

OM THIS PHONE IS AWESOME!!! 4GB, that's monster memory for a phone and the design is just breath taking (especially the full white) just the design alone will make me buy it. as much as i luv this phone, i very shock to see that it doesn't come with a nice 2.0 mega pixel camera. in my opinion that would greatly boost the sales of the phone but i guess the 4gb memory will make up for the absence of the camera. ipod watch out!!


Angelica Jul 09 2006

whoooo hooo!!! ipod, SE is gonna bring yo ass down! damn!


Shaun Jul 17 2006

evrything perfect on it ! BUT NO CAMERA ?????? I would rather go with N91


Adam Jul 29 2006

The best part is that it does NOT have a camera...which as you know are not allowed in courthouses or secure buildings. Thank you SonyEricsson for finally getting around to selling a product that professionals and businesspeople can use! I can't wait to buy it.


BOnd Aug 25 2006

COOL AND SEXY FONE BUT WITHOUT CAM>>>>>>>>>>>>>


BOnd Aug 25 2006

it should have atleast 2mg or more. wothout cam its not gonna run until some folls run aftewr it


Abhay Aug 25 2006

No Camera makes it a shit phone. Otherwise if there was a camera i will be the first to buy the phone. BUT Now NO.....Because No....Camera.


venu Aug 29 2006

perfect if their is a cam


Aigars Aug 30 2006

nice one! Design is perfect, my style!
4gb kicks ass.
no camera - thats good. Mobile optics wont be better, because of the size, so these cameras are just a waste of time.

GONNA buy it!


janie Sep 03 2006

the camera pops up at the side!slik man init


F Sep 18 2006

Does this phone really have a camrea now...?


Al Oct 03 2006

This is the one no camera big advantage the pics are always crap compared with a real camera anyway (now there are loads of decent small digital cams around anyway with much better specs than the phone cams) I just love the 4 Gigs and can keep all my favourite classical, pop and country music on there no probs!!!


F Oct 05 2006

I thought so!!! a bit of a disadvantage i think! Everybody wants a camera these days all the time. They don't want to be carrying around different gadgets. They want an all in one little device!


Si Oct 17 2006

I was gonna buy this phone but with no camera I aint interested the 4gb is good but think if I had the choice i'd buy a phone with a good camera and an ipod for space as its smaller and easyer to carry round then a stupid fat digital camera who carrys one of them round with em get real lol oh i'll just pop this in my pocket dont think so.I have an N70 at moment and I only have praise for this amazing peice of equipment it does everything and its always handy to have a video camera in ur pocket as one of my friends had his car done over and quickly poped his phone out and recorded the guys doing it the police picked em up a few days later after seeing the evidance if you had one of these silly w950i all u could do is listen to music and watch vids its just an ipod with a phone capebillity not an all in one device like the nokia n series I'm so impressed with this n70 that thinking of getting the n73 or n80 next as they are a far superior peices of equipment.
